About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, stress and anxiety. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem and motivation. She also offers coaching for career and professional change.
Her style aims to make talking feel straightforward and non-judgemental. She creates a calm atmosphere where people can say what they think and feel. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and practical steps people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable changes rather than big leaps all at once. Zhakirah draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding.
Attachment-based thinking helps when relationship patterns and intimacy issues come up. Over six years she has worked with a range of concerns including grief, trauma, panic, social anxiety and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how cultural background and identity affect wellbeing and decision making.
She takes time to understand each person's priorities before suggesting an approach. Sessions are available to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients. Meetings can take different forms, so people can choose what fits their life.
The overall aim is to help people manage symptoms, rebuild confidence and find clearer direction.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different reactions. It is often used for depression, anxiety and panic symptoms and gives practical exercises to practise between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to find which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone work can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
